Package runtime's C functions written to be called from Go
started out written in C using carefully constructed argument
lists and the FLUSH macro to write a result back to memory.
For some functions, the appropriate parameter list ended up
being architecture-dependent due to differences in alignment,
so we added 'goc2c', which takes a .goc file containing Go func
declarations but C bodies, rewrites the Go func declaration to
equivalent C declarations for the target architecture, adds the
needed FLUSH statements, and writes out an equivalent C file.
That C file is compiled as part of package runtime.
Native Client's x86-64 support introduces the most complex
alignment rules yet, breaking many functions that could until
now be portably written in C. Using goc2c for those avoids the
breakage.
Separately, Keith's work on emitting stack information from
the C compiler would require the hand-written functions
to add #pragmas specifying how many arguments are result
parameters. Using goc2c for those avoids maintaining #pragmas.
For both reasons, use goc2c for as many Go-called C functions
as possible.
This CL is a replay of the bulk of CL 15400047 and CL 15790043,
both of which were reviewed as part of the NaCl port and are
checked in to the NaCl branch. This CL is part of bringing the
NaCl code into the main tree.
No new code here, just reformatting and occasional movement
into .h files.

The current cas64 definition hard-codes the x86 behavior
of updating *old with the new value when the cas fails.
This is inconsistent with cas32 and casp.
Make it consistent.
This means that the cas64 uses will be epsilon less efficient
than they might be, because they have to do an unnecessary
memory load on x86. But so be it. Code clarity and consistency
is more important.

The problem happens when end=0, then end-1 is very big number.
Observed with the new scheduler.
